British Airways has said it plans to cancel hundreds of long-haul flights from its winter schedule as it suffers aircraft shortages caused by delays in receiving spare parts.
英国航空(British Airways)表示，由于无法及时收到备件导致飞机短缺，该公司计划取消冬季航班计划中的数百个长途航班。
The airline on Friday said it was delaying the launch of a new Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur route, and suspending one flight a day between London Gatwick and New York and between London Heathrow and Doha.
该航空公司周五表示，将推迟开通希思罗机场至吉隆坡的新航线，并暂停每天一个往返于伦敦盖特威克机场与纽约之间，以及伦敦希思罗机场与多哈之间的航班。
The UK flag carrier, part of International Airlines Group, blamed the wave of cancellations on “delays to the delivery of engines and parts” from Rolls-Royce, the aero-engine maker. The problems were particularly related to the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines fitted to its long-haul Boeing 787 aircraft, it added.
这家隶属于国际航空集团(International Airlines Group)的英国载旗航空公司将取消航班的原因归咎于航空发动机制造商罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司(Rolls-Royce)的“发动机和零部件交付延迟”。该公司补充说，这些问题尤其与安装在其长途波音787飞机上的罗尔斯-罗伊斯Trent 1000发动机有关。
